21st October


The weather finally broke with a moderate but increasing SW wind and a few showers in the morning giving way to extended rain in the afternoon; I wasn’t ringing today so an hour spent out on Steinodden produced a few birds heading SE including 2 Great-northern Divers, 2 Little Auks, 4 Red-throated Divers, 62 Common Scoters, 4 Velvet Scoters, 3 Kittiwakes, 31 Razorbills and a late juvenile Common Tern.

                The Gyrfalcon was still lurking around Skarvodden before the rain moved in and pretty much ended the day with a single Wheatear still here and the Scaup still in Vågsvollvika with the Goldeneye.
